misheard lyrics

My friend believes and still argues wiv me over the Justin Timberlake in Cry me a river 'The damage is done so i better be leavin' she thought it was 'Jammy J is done so i better be leavin'. i guess it makes sense.

my friend used to think that the song wherever whenever went like this:

"lucky for my mom ya shes a docter, lucky for my dad ya hes a nurse"

when it really goes:

Lucky you were born that far away so we could both make fun of distance.
Lucky that i love a foreign land for the lucky fact of your existance

My lyric actually made sense in the context of the song (at least it did to me), so it took a while until I learned the truth. In an Amy Grant song, I was convinced she said "But your life can't fall asunder, 'cuz you just can't lay down and die." However, the line actually goes "But you're like a fallen soldier..."

I'm not sure of the song's title, but my little brother mistook the lyrics: "fifty seven channels and nothing on", for "fifty seven towns and a dozen farms"

Ronnie

the black lace song 'agadoo' i used to think was 'have a pooh'

damon

I used to think that the song Funk Soul Brother used to be Fucked on Rubber

In the Greenday song "Holiday" i heard "Blay, blay, you're the broken cabinet" instead of "bang bang goes the broken glass and"

That song is REALLY hard to understand. Try it.

in the wannadies 'you and me song' i thought one of the chorus's went 'but its you and me and will always, and forever' instead of 'but it's you and me, and we'll always, be together' i took me a few while to work it out

The song "Hanging By a Moment" by Lifehouse the part that goes:
"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you"

I thouhgt it went:
"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've ever known
I'm standing here until you make me blue
Hanging by a moment here with you."

In the Mindless self indulgence's version of Tom Sawyer the real lyrics are:
Don't put him down as arrogant.
My lyrics:
and a bag of M&M's!

Mindless

I have a couple of them...
My brother thought that 'Black Whole Sun' by Soundgarden was 'Asshole Sun'.
He also thought the Franz Ferdinand song 'Take Me Out' when the singer says, "I'm just a crosshair," he thought they said, "I'm just a cross-eye."
And this is my belief, in the song 'Not Your Bottle' by the Dandy Warhols, when the singer says, "Passing out hits of LSD." I thought he said, "It's my LSD." To my embarrassment when I sang that out loud!

Woops!

For the longest time i was sure that the Lyrics to the song Bad Moon On the Rise was"The Baboon on the Right"... I really did not know what the rest of the song had to do with a Baboon though

My ickle sister used to sing karma chameleon like this ' coma, coma, coma, coma, coma to me leanne' coz leanne is her name lol.
and the bit that goes 'i'm a man, without conviction, she would make us all laugh by singing her version which was 'i'm a man, ain't got no knicks on'

Rob, Bootle

I thought the pop-song "Betty Davis Eyes" was Better days gone by.
I thought the song "Hooked on Fun" was saying "Hooked on Phonics"

Lita

When I was young, I thought in Jimmy Hendrix's song "Purple Haze" he was saying "excuse me while I kiss this guy" instead of kiss the sky. I then preceded to ask my mom if Jimmy Hendrix was gay

Mike

In the Sound of Music song 'Favourite Things' in the line where it says "When the dog bites" i used to think it said "When the door bites" i never made sense to me but no one told me it was wrong until last year when i was singing it with my sister.

I used to believe that "Listen to your heart" by Roxette is actually "Listen to your mamma"! o_O

Neighbourino

When I fist heard "Play that Funky Music" (circa '98) I was convinced the song said PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC RIGHT, BOY
instead of WHITE BOY.

Tiff

The Nickel Creek song, "Spit On A Stranger", says "I could spit on a stranger, pull me out." (I don't get it, really.) Instead, when I was younger I reckoned it went, "I could shit on a stranger, oh meow."

i had a roomate in college who believed that the midnight oil song where they said "how can we sleep when are beds are burning" they were saying "how can we dance with our ugly cousins"
